Natural killer cells: their roles in defenses against disease
RB Herberman,Ortaldo +1 more
TL;DR: There is increasing evidence that natural killer cells, with the ability to mediate natural resistance against tumors in vivo, certain virus and other microbial diseases, and bone marrow transplants, may play an important role in immune surveillance.

Nanoparticles as potential oral delivery systems of proteins and vaccines: a mechanistic approach.
TL;DR: Vaccines are certainly the most promising applications for orally delivered nanoparticles and encouraging results upon in vivo testing are reported but low bioavailability and lack of control on absorbed dose slow down products development.

Food protein-based materials as nutraceutical delivery systems
TL;DR: The potential role of food proteins as substrate for the development of nutraceutical delivery systems in the form of hydrogel, micro-, or nano- particles is described.

Plant Lectins: A Composite of Several Distinct Families of Structurally and Evolutionary Related Proteins with Diverse Biological Roles
TL;DR: Four major lectin families, namely, the legume lectins, the chitin-binding lectins composed of hevein domains, the type 2 ribosome-inactivating proteins, and the monocot mannose- binding lectins comprise the majority of all currently known plant lectins.
